Yes and no. Yes to a bit of his spirit being inside the sword like the Sword of Sparda allowing Dante to take his father's form. It's there somewhere. But I don't think his DT calls Vergil's spirit. I mentioned on the Nero's page that according to Deadly Fortune, the DT is the representation of his soul. I believe that is a much better idea.

I think Vergil is dead, dead, dead. And people need to accept it. And for people to let Nero be his own respectable character and not a plot device to give back Vergil. I also feel by learning more bout Nero, we can find him respectable in his own right while learning more about Vergil If his story is explored more. We could learn things about Vergil from beyond the grave that made him badass. And the cool/funny part is he don't have to be alive to be a badass.

But I'm a minority here so ignore me.
